In the future, we will describe custom web applications and internet services to AI, and they will materialize, allowing anyone to become a builder, system owner or entrepreneur, realizing precise ideas, and transforming the future of technology.
Today, building, updating and owning a custom web application or internet service is completely out of reach for the ordinary person, and many organisations.
An individual wishing to create a sophisticated personal branding website, wedding planning application, or game to share with friends will simply find the barriers are too high. Meanwhile, a budding entrepreneur or SME wishing to create a sharing economy service with Web3 rails, must raise significant funds to hire engineers. Elsewhere, many businesses have signed up for ruinously expensive SaaS services to obtain simple things such as CRM functionality.
The issue is that such services lock in their data and make them captive customers. The DFINITY Foundation has been working to break down those barriers by driving decentralized AI and enabling greater accessibility through the adoption of Internet Computer (IC) technology.
The DFINITY Foundation is the creator and primary developer of Internet Computer Protocol (ICP), a technology that creates secure and unstoppable networks that play the role of novel cloud computing platforms. In the public setting, this has been used to create the Internet Computer network, which allows people to build web applications and other Internet services by uploading code to the Internet. The technology reimagines software as network-resident, which makes it tamperproof and unstoppable, allowing it to run without the protections of cybersecurity systems like firewalls and anti-malware, among other advances.
Other key benefits of ICP include that it enables advanced AI to build self-writing web applications and services solo, by removing the danger that a mistake by the AI could result in a hack, and ensuring that they can be upgraded in real-time while ensuring a mistake by the AI will not cause data loss.
Those using AI to build web apps and services in real-time on the Internet Computer then own the underlying software it has created to satisfy their needs, even though they never have to deal with it themselves, and their data is not locked in — their apps and services are sovereign.
This is the bold new future of tech and the Internet.
